Hi my questions are: if you have no mri activity, will it work? Will it work for spms patients? Were can it be done? Thanks

@mmhhpp https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00273364 scroll down to the eligibility section for the UK trial details. Mexico and Russia do NOT require MRI activity for eligibility. I did not have any new lesions on my MRI but still went, the goal is to try and stop the disease. @sarahshift Why when other clinics have shown results in halting disease progression is the current trial so restricted in its eligibility criteria? Surely halting disease progression should be the main goal and the long term benefit in costs compared to DMD outweigh the short term initial hit?
